$500 Mini ITX build

[Synthetic-Pulse]

$500 is the max budget. This is for the computer only, I have windows 7, monitor, mouse and keyboard. The computer will be used for 1080p gaming and playing older games on emulators. I dont care if its AMD, Intel or nvidia. The only thing is that the case must be a fractal design node 202 or the corsair 250d (Due to size restrictions where I am going to place it)
